    A jazzy collar on a simple blouse? Cute. A collar that rivals the Golden Gate Bridge in magnitude? Not so much. But big, bountiful collars definitely had a moment this year. Zooey Deschanel (who's always sporting girlish bows and frills) and Julianne Moore were among the notables who took the idea of face framing a tad too far.

    We're of the mind that—unless you're at the beach—grown-up bellies should be kept covered in public. But stars seem determined to show off their abs, even on the red carpet.

    How many carats does it take to woo a Kardashian? Nine if you're talking about Khloe, and 20.5 if you're referring to Kim, who is apparently going to buy the ring from her erstwhile husband. Fortunately, outside of Hollywood, the average engagement ring is a respectable 1.18 carats, according to market research firm The Wedding Report.

    Flexible film nail adornments became the must-have mani in 2011, leaving a trail of decal-happy stars in their wake.
